 'Someone called and said Kurt died. I just f*****g lost it.'

He has sold over 40 million albums. He's been in bands that have
changed popular music forever. He saw his best friend commit
suicide. He starts supergroups. He's the nicest guy in rock.

From Nirvana to Foo Fighters, from brotherhood to bitter rivalry,

from breathless highs to lifeless lows, Paul Brannigan gives an
unparalleled, intimate and extraordinary account of the life and
times of Dave Grohl.

In 1990, little-known punk-metal upstarts Nirvana added a new

drummer to the band. They were soon to become a global
phenomenon - but as we all know, things went wrong. Dave's friend
Kurt, frontman of Nirvana, took his own life, plunging the band and
their future into chaos. His friends' grief was mirrored by worldwide
sorrow to an unprecedented degree.

Defying expectations, a knack that was soon to become his

trademark, Grohl refused to see it as the end. In 1995 his new band,
the Foo Fighters, rose to join the pantheon of rock deities.

The 'wonder years' were by no means calm. The spotlit existence

imposed by his celebrity status, the bellowed vilification by his
critics and his high-speed lifestyle proved a dangerous cocktail.
With an account of Grohl's life that is more personal than anything
written before, more startling, more thrilling, more heart-rending
and more inspiring, Paul Brannigan reveals Dave fully for the first
time.

This is the story of the man who changed music forever. And he's
not finished yet.
